4.4.4 Leaving the viewfinder menu system

If you do not use the menu it disappears after a few seconds. (This delay can be programmed
in the VF menu.)
You can manually exit the menu by following the following procedure:
1. If necessary move the cursor to the left column with the Select button.
2. Scroll upwards with the Rotary control until the cursor points to TOP (this is the MAIN
menu).
3. Press the Select button. The cursor now points to the MENU OFF item of the MAIN menu.
4. Press the Select button to leave the SYSTEM menu.
Note
When you press the Select button you enter the SYSTEM menu at the last position of the
cursor. To prevent confusion the next time you enter the SYSTEM menu, you may want to
always leave the menu by returning to the MAIN menu (TOP) and selecting MENU OFF.

4.4.5 Making changes

To find out where you have to go to change a function, consult the appendix to discover under
which menu group or sub-group the function you want to change is located. If the cursor points
to an item (and there are no double arrows to indicate a sub-menu) then the item pointed to
has a value. The value can be:
a toggle value (only two values)
a list value (more than two values)
an analogue value (variable from 00 to 99)
unavailable (---).
If the value is unavailable it cannot be changed. This is indicated by three dashes (---). This can
occur, for example, when a function is switched off. The analogue values associated with that
function are then unavailable.
If there are only two values associated with the function, then pressing the Select button
toggles between these two values. If a value is displayed next to a function that is one of
several possible values, then pressing the Select button places the cursor in a list menu
indicating the value currently selected. Use the Rotary control to point to a new value. Press
the Select button to return the cursor to the function list.
If an analogue value is displayed next to a function name, then pressing the Select button
places the cursor in front of the value and the Rotary control is used to change the analogue
value. Press the Select button to return the cursor to the function list.

4.4.6 Undoing changes

If you make changes to the video settings in the menu and you decide not to keep them, use
the Std. Recall button at the side of the camcorder to recall a standard set of values for the
video parameters.
